10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of parameters includes a zoom of a graphics scene.
11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the facial expression detector is further configured to detect an amount of a squinting of the user based on a detected distance between eyelids of the user.
12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the parameter adjuster is further configured to adjust an amount of the zoom of the graphics scene based on the amount of the detected squinting of the user.
13. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the parameter adjuster is further configured to adjust the plurality of parameters based on at least one other detected input.
14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the at least one other detected input includes one or more of a pulse rate, a heart rate, and a gesture of the user.
15. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the facial expression detector is further configured to detect a number of blinks of the user.
16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the parameter adjuster is further configured to adjust a second graphics parameter based on the detected number of blinks of the user to improve a perception of the user.
17. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the facial expression detector is further configured to detect a visual impairment of the user.
18. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the detected visual impairment includes one or more of a presence of eye glasses and the presence of an eye patch.
19. The graphics apparatus of claim 4 , wherein: in response to the determination that the first ambient light is similar to the second ambient light, adjust the plurality of parameters so that the plurality of parameters is at the plurality of settings; and the plurality of parameters includes screen brightness, the plurality of settings of the plurality of parameters is an amount of screen brightness and the detected first facial expression is squinting.
